Mess It Up Lyrics – The Rolling Stones
Mess It Up Lyrics
[Intro: Mick Jagger]
There she goes
C'mon
[Verse 1: Mick Jagger]
You stole my numbers, you stole my codes
You took my keys and then you nicked my phone
Seduced my landlord, broke in my home
Don't get excited, why don't you leave me alone?
[Chorus: Mick Jagger]
You think I'll mess it up
Mess it up, mess it up all for you
You think I'll mess it up
Mess it up, mess it up all for you
You think I'm really, really
Really gonna really make your dreams come true
Yeah, you say you really, really, really
Really wanna hеar the truth, oh
[Verse 2: Mick Jagger]
You shared my photos with all your friends
Yеah, you put them out there
Well, it don't make no sense
Oh, I said I'm sorry, mmm
I know it ended bad
You came to the right place
Baby, at the wrong time
It's kinda sad
[Chorus: Mick Jagger]
You think I'll mess it up, mess it up
Mess it up all for you (All for you, yeah)
You think I'll mess it up
Mess it up, mess it up all for you
You think I'll dress it up, dress it up
Dress it up all for you (All for you)
You say you really, really, really
Really wanna hear the truth
Yeah, yeah, you say you really, really, really
Really wanna hear the truth, yeah, c'mon
[Post-Chorus: Mick Jagger]
Really wanna hear it
(Really wanna hear it)
Really wanna hear it, baby
Really wanna hear it
Really wanna hear it
Really wanna hear it, babe, yeah
[Bridge: Mick Jagger]
You asked the question
And I won't lie
[Chorus: Mick Jagger]
Ain't gonna mess it up, mess it up
Mess it up all for you
Ain't gonna mess it up, mess it up
Really make your dreams come true
Ain't gonna wreck it up, wreck it up
Wreck it up all for you, oh, Lord
You say you really, really, really
Really wanna hear the truth, oh, oh, oh
[Outro: Mick Jagger]
Really wanna hear it
Really wanna hear it (Yeah, yeah)
Really wanna hear it, baby, yeah
Really wanna hear it, really wanna hear it
Really wanna hear the truth now
Really wanna hear the truth now
(I just wanna be honest)
Really wanna hear it, really wanna hear it
Wanna be, wanna be honest
Honest with you, baby
Really wanna hear it, really wanna hear it
(Yeah, don't get too excited)
Baby, no, no, no, no
Really wanna hear it, really wanna hear it
(Yeah, tell, I wanna tell the truth, tell the truth, yeah, woo, yeah)
Really wanna hear it, really wanna hear it
Mess It Up Lyrics Meaning
"Mess It Up" by The Rolling Stones is a song that delves into the complexities of a troubled relationship, where one person is skeptical of the other's intentions and desires honesty and truthfulness. Mick Jagger's lyrics convey his frustration and his commitment to being honest and genuine in his interactions with the other person. Let's explain the meaning of each paragraph.`
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Mick Jagger starts by describing how the person he's addressing has caused him problems. They've stolen his personal information, such as numbers and codes, and have invaded his privacy by taking his keys and phone. This person has even gone so far as to seduce Mick's landlord and break into his home. Mick is clearly not pleased with this individual's actions and asks them to leave him alone.
[Chorus]
The chorus conveys a mix of emotions. Jagger questions whether the person believes he would mess things up for them. This might imply that the person expects him to sabotage their relationship or shared dreams. Jagger denies this assumption and asserts that he won't mess things up, but he also hints at the desire for honesty. The chorus reflects a complex dynamic of trust and doubt in the relationship.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Jagger addresses a situation where the person has shared his photos with others, leading to a negative outcome that doesn't make sense to him. He apologizes and suggests that the person came at the wrong time, which could mean that the timing of their involvement was unfortunate. The verse conveys a sense of regret and confusion about the outcome of their interactions.
[Chorus]
The second chorus is similar to the first, where the person believes that Mick will mess things up for their benefit. They may be expecting him to dress up or present himself a certain way to fulfill their desires. The person desires to hear the truth from Mick, and it's as if they're questioning his sincerity.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus emphasizes the person's desire to hear the truth, suggesting that they want honesty and clarity in the relationship.
[Bridge]
Mick Jagger mentions that the person has asked a question, and he won't lie. This implies that he intends to be truthful and straightforward in his response.
[Chorus]
The final chorus states that Mick isn't going to mess things up for the person's benefit. He won't ruin their dreams or wreck the situation. He reiterates the person's desire to hear the truth and emphasizes his commitment to being honest.
[Outro]
The outro reiterates the person's desire to hear the truth and Mick's desire to be honest. He emphasizes that he just wants to be honest and open with the person, despite the challenges they've faced in their relationship.
Overall, "Mess It Up" explores themes of trust, betrayal, honesty, and the desire for a genuine connection in a relationship, all set to a catchy rock tune.
